Monday-July 1, 2013 Proverbs 20:14-30 (TLB) The Living Bible 14 "Utterly worthless!" says the buyer as he haggles over the price. But afterwards he brags about his bargain! 15 Good sense is far more valuable than gold or precious jewels. 16 It is risky to make loans to strangers! 17 Some men enjoy cheating, but the cake they buy with such ill-gotten gain will turn to gravel in their mouths. 18 Don’t go ahead with your plans without the advice of others; don’t go to war until they agree. 19 Don’t tell your secrets to a gossip unless you want them broadcast to the world. 20 God puts out the light of the man who curses his father or mother. 21 Quick wealth is not a blessing in the end. 22 Don’t repay evil for evil. Wait for the Lord to handle the matter. 23 The Lord loathes all cheating and dishonesty. 24 Since the Lord is directing our steps, why try to understand everything that happens along the way? 25 It is foolish and rash to make a promise to the Lord before counting the cost. 26 A wise king stamps out crime by severe punishment. 27 A man’s conscience is the Lord’s searchlight exposing his hidden motives. 28 If a king is kind, honest, and fair, his kingdom stands secure. 29 The glory of young men is their strength; of old men, their experience. 30 Punishment that hurts chases evil from the heart.
